Question for judges and attorneys...Where does your morality (if any) come into play ?

Where do you draw the line in pursuing a conviction or defending a criminal?

They don’t have any. Neither do lawyers. They’re all narcissistic pieces of garbage that like to stroke their own egos

Judges have to judge based on the law, not their morality.

A lot of them don’t even do that. They rule based on democrat or progressive agenda in pretty much every big city and federal court in this country

I don't represent people accused of sex crimes, for various reasons. It's just shitty all around with a lot of terrible people and judicial/prosecutorial abuse at the same time.
Otherwise, morality doesn't come into play, really. It's a system that Western society is built on, built on rules and evidence. Most of all, it's a service/job.

Lately, local judges ethics follow the color of their skin.

Judge are politicians and almost uniformly worship the government apparatus that provides them a comfortable lifestyle. They're whores for increased state control and decreased individual liberty. For some, having legitimate power and being elevated to the upper crust of political society is more intoxicating than any drug. We call it "robe-itis" down here. They're much more dangerous to this country than a man like Trump.

I dealt in contracts and corporate end. If I ever had a criminal situation that was particularly egregious....and I've had a limited few. I back out and recommend they get a criminal Ace. Now for things that are fines, etc I would negotiate with the government on it directly. It always was an intellectual challenge. Especially in the Securities space

I do a lot of divorces, too, but my whole schtick is to decrease the emotional component in the divorce/custody process, to the chagrin of the divorce industry that promotes the emotional-irrational.
Morality doesn't really come into play there, either.

There is no such thing as a moral
Judge or attorney. Court is all BS!

It's the job of a prosecutor to pursue a conviction and the job of a defense attorney or a public defender to defend their client. There are some people who chose not to do any criminal defense work (whether as a prosecutor or as a defense attorney), and that is their choice.
In either case, the rules of professional conduct (specifically Rule 1.3) require zealous representation by every attorney of his client, and the Constitution minimally requires effective assistance of counsel.

While I am not a criminal attorney I try to never let my personal morality impact my zealous representation of my clients. I tend to park my morality at the door, but I do not and may not park ethics. Two completely different things.
After conflict checks we do vote on taking on new clients, morality is part of that vote for me but if they become clients I have to do the very best I can to prevent my personal feelings, morality included, from reducing my effectiveness representing them.

Your nuance maybe lost on nonlawyers here.
Could you explain with examples?
